Geopolitical upheaval, energy security and reliance on UK for supplies are forcing a rethink on the ban on LNG
Ireland debates developing a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal to ensure energy security amid rising domestic gas demand and dependence on UK gas imports. The government banned LNG terminal development in 2020 but now considers a state-developed emergency offshore floating LNG terminal. Concerns exist regarding the cost, carbon footprint, and potential reliance on fracked gas, while proponents argue LNG is necessary for supply continuity and advocate for private sector development alongside renewable energy investments.
